The idea is as follows: Instead of going nuts buying various presents for everyone (in particular the kids), you follow this little mantra:Something to to wearSomething to readSomething they wantSomething they need...

That's it.

Now to see whether I can do this... I admit in advance that my kids will probably get more that one thing they want... and yet... I really do like the idea... Of course, the other thought running through my mind is how I would feel if that's what I got... hmmm... something to wear (good thing this isn't coupled with need because I need something new to wear like I need a hole in the head... but sure)... Something to read (always)... Something I want (hmmmm what could that be? Better choose wisely if it's only gonna be one! LOL) and something I need (chocolate perhaps? )

Quick note to let you all know that I am, once again this year, donating a painting (see above) to Project Tembo. Their mandate is providing education for girls and economic empowerment for women in Tanzania - now that's something I can get behind.

Please have a look and see if this wouldn't be something you'd like to support as well!
